What are the specific traits of Russian parliamentarism? They can be seen in the fact that the format of public interests representation in the framework of Russian authority paradigm has been and still is more or less effective format of control of the authorities as such (not only executive or judicial authority), control of the unified political and bureaucratic organism, of the vertical line of authority, whether autocratic, nomenclature or independent and democratic. This is the reason for the indeterminate state of Russian parliamentarism resembling some kind of Schroedinger parliamentarism: it simultaneously exists, developing and growing for the benefit of the country, and on-exists, remaining a kind of fiction and PR mold that undermines Russian state system. And, if speaking in terms of quantum mechanics, it can pass any time to a certain state and remain in history either quality.

The article examines the institution of «press police» in the police law of the Russian Empire, as well as measures taken to tighten censorship in the late XIX – early XX century, as one of the ways to neutralize the socio-political situation in the country. The author analyzes the views of the most prominent Russian police officers: I. E. Andrievsky, N. N. Belyavsky, V. F. Deryuzhinsky, V. V. Ivanovsky, and I. T. Tarasov on the problem of restricting the rights and freedoms of the population, including freedom of speech and the press, under the conditions of the emergency legal regime of an exceptional situation. The author describes the significance of the exceptional position as a way to eliminate the extreme socio-political situation in the state, as well as a means of political prevention of the revolutionary threat to the state system. It is concluded that Russian state experts, in General, who advocated the development of the system of rights and freedoms of the population, in an extreme situation recognized the need to take measures to tighten censorship and restrict freedom of speech, however, in practice, this measure, even in conjunction with other protective measures, could not solve the problem of preserving the existing state system.

The classical signal splitting and copying are not possible in quantum mechanics. Specifically, one cannot copy the basis up and down states of the input (I) two-state system (qubit, spin) into the copy (C) and duplicate-copy (D) two-state systems if the latter systems are initially in an arbitrary state. We consider instead a quantum evolution in which the basis states of I at time t are duplicated in at least two of the systems I, C, D, at time t+Δt. In essence, the restriction on the initial target states is exchanged for uncertainty as to which two of the three qubits retain copies of the initial source state.

In the two decades that followed the Crimean War the local police, always crucial elements of the tsarist system, assumed a new importance. Vested with special responsibility for maintaining law and order and occupying a key position in the bureaucratic hierarchy, they were cast in a major role in carrying out the Great Reforms of Alexander II. The task of fitting the police to assume this role was one of great concern to Russia's leaders and occupied their attention throughout the reign. This essay is a study of police reform in the area of Iaroslavl Province. It examines the background, nature, and success of government efforts to revitalize an essential branch of the Russian state system.On the eve of the period of reforms the local police in Iaroslavl as in other Russian provinces were officials of enormous influence. They were the foundation stones of a giant bureaucratic pyramid, for in addition to their special superior—the Ministry of Internal Affairs—a host of ministries, councils, and other government agencies depended on them. Matters of finance and justice, the supervision of industry and commerce, the protection of life and property—all were the concern of the police.

The paper deals with topical issues of the Russian State System for Prevention and Response to Emergencies in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Some aspects of a possible legislation reform in the field of protection of the population and territories in emergencies caused by the spread of dangerous infectious diseases are investigated. The authors consider the issues of limiting the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens in high-alert and emergency situations. Activities to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens in the context of a pandemic are based on article 55 of the Constitution, according to which the rights can be restricted by law only to the extent necessary to protect the health of citizens. Based on the analysis of changes in legislation in this area, the authors substantiate proposals for improving activities in the field of protection of the population and territories in emergencies, as well as expanding the functions of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

On some peculiarities of evolution of the contemporary Russian political system The article deals with the problem of Russian political system evolution at the turn of the 20th and 21th centuries. The author attempts to answer the following question: if contemporary Russian state system does not fit a classical model of liberal democracy, is it reasonable to talk about hopeless stagnation of political system in Russia, generated by the process of new bureaucratic deformation, or is it possible to outline some tendencies of Russian state system evolution that fit the process of global degradation of democratic institutions in every region all over the world without any exceptions? The answer implies a quite important verification and statement concerning the situation: does the level of political government in Russian „imperial center” meet that contemporary criteria, obeyed in the development of civilized states. At the beginning of the 21st century, after long period of chaotic decentralization, Russia has entered the stage, when the federal center attempts to „establish order” in the country by means of tough administrative decisions. New stage of Russian politics connected with the Ukrainian crisis and the referendum in the Crimea signifies the explicit tendency of political elite to start a new page of national history.
